About ready to flip the switch! Wanna check my homework? PICS

I knew the \"PICS!\" would get you to click! lolSo this is my first go at it, room is built painted gloss white, used expanding foam and calking for gaps and cracks, reflective sheeting all ready up, door double sealed, aluminum ducting tape everywhere. Just need to finish ducting the light. Also thinking about how I want to do the exhaust for the cab, I will be running CO2 so I dont want to waste that, open to opinions. I have the ballest mounted out of the cab and contiplating moving all plugs, timers and surge protectors out of the cab too, maybe keep the heat down enough to not have to worry about venting the cab? Just having the light ducted from out the cab to exhaust out the cab, tower fan blowing on the plants?Temp in the cab has been pretty steady at 62* last couple days with no action going on.I have a couple combos I can come up with from the equipment I have, what I am planning on using is a 600w HPS the whole time, in a cool tube (I think you guys are calling it) hooked up to a hamster wheel style exhaust fan (forgot to write down the CFM before mounting it but I recal it was a 44? CFM, I think 442CFM) Previous user of this equip had it ducted with 4\" duct, the light and fan both have 6\" openings, I want to use 6\" since I think sucking air from a smaller tube would make the fan work harder=louder, ?Using Ebb & Flow with a 2\'x4\' table not pictured, using rockwool cubes and grow cubes as a meduim. Have an air stone and water heater in the res (using a big rubbermaid tote for res) feeding with a beckett fountain pump rated at 185 gallons/hour @ 1\' lift.Size of the cab is 3\'9\"(D)x 5\'2\"(W)x 6\'4\"(T)I am trying to use as much stuff as I have to keep cost down, I also received quite the assortment of GH nutes and productsThis will eventually be the flower room after I build a veg tent/roomSo what do you think?Is the fountain pump going to work?Does the cab have to be vented with the set up I have and with the CO2 since it can use a higher temp?6\" Ducting instead of 4\"?PICS!Not sure the order they will come out, a couple of the room, one of the SunSystems light hood I was not planning on using at the moment (going to use the one hanging in the room) Good idea? Bad idea? I think the one hanging in the cab would cover the rectangular tray better and cool better?Ok.... looks like I have to do some reading on posting pics! The little paper clip when I put the mouse over it, just has a blank space with a line top and bottom? Nothing to click? Could it be because I am using a proxy? Do I need a proxy here?

not bad. very clean for a first time. How many plants? what strain? do you have seeds or clones?
 
Thanks bcguy, got a little cleaner yesterday during my check, triple checked everything and its all working great.

I will be running 6-8 plants depending on the method I want to go with, leaning towards 6 to make it easier for my first time, I will be working from clones I am going to pick up at the local shop, not sure the strain yet, would like to do 3 different ones, from what I have seen NL is a good starter so that will be one, really going to depend on what they have in stock.



Couple more pics from after my final check, now its time to get some ladies and flip the switch! I cant wait!

I am using a 1000w mh for veg and have 11 plants under it but I started from seeds. So i will have to kill a few but i would go with 8 just because some clones dont always work out and other random plant probs. On the other hand if they all make it then much more for u to smoke and not much more time invested. Oh and I am growing BC Big Bud but NL is a pretty tough plant u should do well if u are investing this much time before you even have plants.
